[QUOTE="scn, post: 5668359, member: 1859"] I was part of multiple law enforcement meetings where potential enforcement scenarios were discussed for many hours. There were annual meetings with the District Attorney Generals over those counties discussing what type of evidence they would require to prosecute the cases. It always came back to not being able to get the evidence the DA required to go to court. If you are there and see the blatant holding up of dollars, etc, it seems really simple to just document that and go to court. Unfortunately, more is required to successfully prosecute the case. "Knowing" something is going on doesn't mean that you can convict the person in court. If the DA isn't going to go forward with the case, there isn't any need to write the ticket. Bottom line is it was a "feel good" regulation that was passed by the Commission even after they were told up front that it was going to be unenforceable. You would have to be a real idiot to do something that led to your conviction. Most of the folks buying the blinds were a little smarter than that. A couple weren't, and cases were made a couple of times on that regulation. So to say TWRA didn't try to deal with it is complete bullshyt. [/QUOTE]
